1 | God sought Moses to kill him | Ex 4:24 | budderfligh | 198312 | ||
Hi Doc, Thanks for your thoughts on this subject. I have never heard of the term theodicy but it does sound like a subject I've heard discussed before. Isn't there somewhere in Scripture that states that God made evil? I looked for the passage but couldn't locate it. I agree that God himself made the distinguishing difference between Israel and Egypt. I also agree that the thought of this doctrine is hard to take. Many instances come to my mind that I thought were unfair of God when I first read of them in scripture such as that poor man who was stoned to death because he was gathering sticks on a Sabbath (Nu. 15:32-36), or the way God gave land to the Israelites that belonged to other people; actually giving them cities they didn't build and vineyards they didn't plant (Deut. 6:10-11). I remember when I first read these things that I thought them to be unfair. As I matured in Christ and in the study of Scripture I began to understand that you just can't get around Rom. 9:18. God is God. Always has been. Always will be. He is truly the Potter and we are truly the clay. I will end this post with the verse I ended my last post to Jeff with, Isa 55:8 For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD. God bless and keep you. I look forward with much eagerness to learn more from those who post here and thank you for tolerating my questions and thoughts, budderfligh |

Isaiah 45:7 Hello Michael, there is an explanation of the two kinds of evil that you might find interesting. This explanation is found in the Holman Bible Dictionary. It can be viewed on the internet at Lifeway Online Bible Library under Dictionaries under the word evil. Also under Commentaries by Matthew Henry the passage Isaiah 45:7 says: There is no God beside Jehovah. There is nothing done without him. He makes peace, put here for all good; and creates evil, not the evil of sin, but the evil of punishment. He is the Author of all that is true, holy, good, or happy; and evil, error, and misery, came into the world by his permission, through the wilful apostacy of his creatures, but are restrained and overruled to his righteous purpose. Grace and Peace Val |
